ILR® Software IntelliFIND
ILR Mobile Location System IntelliFIND
ILR mobile location system IntelliFIND is an agile and flexible RFID and GPS mobile location system designed to locate and track assets within a physical outdoor or indoor environment. Organisations have struggled with identifying the most accurate, scaleable and cost effective solution in obtaining visibility of their assets, especially in facilities with a high volume of assets scattered across large areas, such as manufacturing facilities, distribution centres or construction lay down yards. One of the challenges in these environments is a lack of infrastructure, which hinders installation of traditional systems. A key benefit of IDENTEC SOLUTIONS IntelliFIND is that it can be quickly and easily deployed with no infrastructure present and provide immediate and reliable results. IntelliFIND leverages IDENTEC SOLUTIONS well established robust award winning ILR technology as well as the patented tag location method.
Tag Positioning
IntelliFIND software records the position of a mobile reader based on the data from the attached GPS receiver and the relative signal strength indicator (RSSI) every time it detects a tag. Using a unique patented algorithm, proprietary to IDENTEC SOLUTIONS, the reader uses its GPS position and RSSI data to determine the actual location of the tag in real time. In an indoor environment the system uses pre-positioned location tags instead of GPS. The software also allows showing the tag and reader positions as they change on the map, which is displayed on the mobile reader screen including the route the reader took. A reader attached to a material handling vehicle carrying the tagged load provides the most accurate and realtime positioning solution available.
 Tag Find
Unlike in the traditional fixed infrastructure RTLS systems, once the tag locations are either imported or calculated, the user can also utilise the intuitive tag finding features of the application, which include a GPS arrow that points the user in the direction of the tag, approximate distance to the tag and a 'Geiger counter' which beeps more frequently as the tag is approached. This feature is especially valuable for locating assets in extreme weather conditions, for instance, under several feet of snow.
IntelliFIND supports any NMEA GPS device via serial port, USB, or Bluetooth with auto-discovery. It displays real time GPS information such as:
► Current latitude and longitude
► Current speed and bearing
► Current horizontal positional accuracy
► Signal strength bars and fixed indicator for satellites in view
The IntelliFIND solution provides immediate savings in time and labour and results in more efficient operations in the following industries and applications:
► Construction (tracking of materials in lay down yards, security, quality control etc.)
► Container tracking
► Vehicle tracking (Fleet management, parking, security etc.)
► Manufacturing
► And many more!
Designed from the ground up as a multi-threaded application, the IntelliFIND application offers a responsive and intuitive user interface. Smart tag filtering while reporting tags assures accurate calculation of location for asset tracking. IntelliFIND reports the latitude and longitude of a tag within 30 feet (or less) of accuracy and the time the tag was found at this location.
